President. addressing myself now to the naval appropriation bill. I am sorry that the Senator from Missouri has left the Chamber. because he is not wholly incapable of conversion. I hope. and there are a number of things about immigration which. so far as could be discovered from his remarks. have not yet occurred to him. In 1924 it had become perfectly apparent to the people of this country that the unrestricted flow of immigration into the United States was almost an unmixed national evil. We had discovered that in our great cities and in many rural districts colonies of newly arrived immigrants had gathered together where English was neither spoken nor understood. We had found the number of newspapers in foreign languages increasing constantly. We had found that particularly in our cities there were vast numbers of people who did not understand nor care for the system of government that prevails in this country.
